Textured products allow administration large percentage (up 50-60% product) are available variety food items. We >1000 patients. An extensive review literature indicates that similar findings have been reported others when administering TVP TVP-like items subjects with well-characterized hypercholesterolemia (Fredrickson type II). Data less consistent for treatment patients marginal already corrected standard before soy products. diet, is, however, effective normolipidemic individuals made hypercholesterolemic dietary cholesterol administration.
